To generate the appropriate options and paths for your machine, set up your solve using the ANSYS launcher and then display the command that it would invoke from “Tools –> Display Command Line.” Several command line options for ANSYS are hard-coded into this script. The example below includes a Python function that runs an APDL script and then checks the output file for errors.
We often want to incorporate a finite-element solve into a larger program for design automation or optimization.
